Andorran Ireneu Esteve’s skiing style is not to Markus Vuorela’s liking.
Ireneu Esteve Altimiras from Andorra is the marked man in joint starts. PDO
The men’s 10-kilometer co-start in the open is always fencing, but it is especially so in Val di Fiemme during the final stage of the Tour, when you go a four-kilometer stretch of the narrow Marcialonga route before the final climb.
The rink is so narrow that it can accommodate a maximum of two men skating side by side.
On Sunday, it happened again in Italy.
This precipitated Finland Markus Vuorelaa.
– There is always a skier whose license should be taken away for joint departures, Vuorela announced.
He agreed somewhat reluctantly to name Andorra separately by Ireneu Esteve Altimiras. According to Vuorela, he is an athlete that everyone knows to watch out for.
– It tries too hard. You would take it easy, and you wouldn’t always use a taser to push from an edge. I’m not going to bark at him, but in general the situation is like that.
The man from Andorra was ninth in the final climb.
Vuorela’s ranking on Sunday was 42nd.
– Couldn’t give more. All the hoe bits were difficult. I just couldn’t get any harder. The wassu bit at the end was ok. The hoe and the pitchfork were poison. It just can’t get any stronger.
In the final results of the Tour, the Andorran was 31st and Vuorela 33rd.
– Basic ok. I expected much more after the Norwegian Games. The starting point was bad due to illness.
Many men got involved in the project after the final ascent of Alpe Cermis. Border guard Vuorela kept his head up.
– At least I won’t throw myself into my stomach. That’s for sure.
